Arthur Cotton Moore on the Metro and one of his pro bono publico ideas ~

“I’m talking about the homeless because it’s a big issue in Washington, and they [Metro] have these cars that they’re now throwing away. The 4000 series because they don’t have the right propulsion . . .the cars are being thrown away . . . they’re paying a salvage company in Baltimore 1.3 million dollars to chop them up. So, they have really negative 1.3 million dollars. I did a drawing, and that’s in the book, on how they would make two very nice one-bedroom apartments.”

Paul Scimonelli on going to watch the Washington Senators play baseball at Griffith Stadium back in the day~

“The only reason to come to the stadium, and that was Shirley Povich and Bob Addy said the same thing, there’s no reason to go see a last place team, and the only reason to go there was Roy Sievers. . . He should be in the Ring of Honor, he really did cement baseball in the 1950s when there was nothing . . .”
